My Lifes Golden Age

The main character is Geum whose a track coach and focuses on her relationship with Kyung. A secondary storyline relating to Geum's half sister Hwang and the problems in her marriage. There are other minor story lines surrounding these 2 major ones. This series is probably about 10 episodes too long. Too much re-hashing of the same fights between Hwang and her husband and Geum's run in's with Kyung and his mother. They belabored the point by just having them fight about the same stuff, in the same way - over and over.

Hwang is an incredibly unlikeable character - she can't hold her temper and mouth, always making bad situations worse. There were many times if she had just shut up, her life would've been far easier. The main plot point for her story is she ends up cheating on her husband to get back at him for cheating on her a few months prior. He ends up finding out and is hurt - but because he cheated first, she won't allow him time to be human and feel hurt. She gets on him and gets on him until the situation becomes intolerable for him and forces him to take drastic measures.

I think anyone whose a fan of korean dramas can pretty much guess what ends up happening with Geum and Kyung's relationship once they see the premise established. But I enjoyed that storyline despite that.

The actor who plays the younger brother Ki is super cute

This drama explores the lives of three siblings. But it did seem to focus more on the two daughters. I greatly looked forward to watching what happened to them. There's romance, pain, and forgiveness in each of their lives. It also shows how three different families get connected because of these themes. I think the characters did a good job of acting out their roles and at the end, I was glad I had watched the drama.
